Audubon International

Audubon International (AI), a nonprofit environmental organisation with over 35 years of experience, is the trusted name in environmental certifications for golf courses, resorts and communities. During this time, over 3,000 properties have been enrolled with 1,000+ certified, including many top 100 courses. AI offers two certifications for golf courses and golf property developments, the most elite and customisable being its Signature Sanctuary. By working with stakeholders from the project’s start or throughout a renovation, AI’s Signature Sanctuary programme is your partner in sustainable design, construction and long-term environmental stewardship of a property. Its second golf-focused certification is the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, which works to improve environmental practices and management techniques at existing golf courses and facilities. By combining technical assistance, education and third-party verification, AI assists golf course managers, architects and other stakeholders in implementing sound environmental management plans for today and the future using a science and data driven curriculum.
